The conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss recent research and current policy issues related to the microstructure and functioning of financial markets. The conference has a tradition of a broad approach to market microstructure, covering a wide range of asset classes and trading protocols, and maintaining a blend of empirical and theoretical papers. As such, studies in all areas of market microstructure and, more broadly, financial market functioning, are welcome.
